LIFE is becoming more stressful than carefree for young people.
A study of 1500 Australians has found that one in eight adults has severe stress, with those aged 18 to 25 more stressed and depressed than any other age group.
And to ease their stress, people are turning to comfort food, drinking and shopping.
The executive director of the Australian Psychological Society, Lyn Littlefield, said the study found the main sources of stress for young people were money, work and relationships.
“I think it’s because of uncertainty, the lack of predictability in their lives, and the fact that change occurs more rapidly now than in the past,” Professor Littlefield said.
“Older people are probably less stressed because they’ve been through lots of life experiences and come to some level of adjustment and are more philosophical.”
Nearly one-third of all those surveyed identified work as the main source of their stress.
Those under 25 had the lowest levels of job satisfaction and felt undervalued by their employers.
But the biggest source of stress for all age groups was money, followed by health issues and family problems.
More than 60 per cent said they tucked into comfort food when they were stressed, while nearly half took to the shops for retail therapy.
Forty per cent sought solace in alcohol.
“But they all found those things were less than effective,” Prof Littlefield said.
“I feel they are never good ways of coping with stress.”
Prof Littlefield said the best way to deal with stress was to talk to friends, family, a GP or psychologist.
